during ww1, king albert from Belgium decided not to let Germany pass through Belgium....King Albert responded with "Ok, lets flood the damn yser river!"

it's also a song by Sabaton on the war to end all wars album
Belgium soldiers: blow up the dam!
*explosion*
German infantry: Run! they flooded the river

that's basically what happened with the Race to the sea tho it's not a race

Get the Race to the Sea mug.
A drinking game consisting of completing 10 shots of liquor to the drinker’s choice, followed by shotgunning a 16oz energy drink of the drinker’s choice.
Want to do a Race to the Sea with me?

Sure….get the fireball and Red Bull from the fridge.
